Ingredients
2 lbs ground beef
2 cans (32oz total) dark red kidney beans (not drained)
1 can (16oz) tomato sauce
2 cans (32oz total) diced tomatoes
2 medium onions, chopped
1 tbsp garlic, minced
3 tbsp chili powder (click to make our homemade chili powder, otherwise use any chili powder)
1 tbsp fresh ground pepper
1 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp tabasco
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp sage
1 tbsp salt
- Garnish
Green onions
Sour cream
Cheddar cheese, grated
Directions
- Sauté ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat until brown. Depending on the fat content of your ground beef (e.g., 80/20), you may need to add a touch of olive oil if it appears too dry.
- While beef browns, add kidney beans, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce to large pot and heat over medium.
- Once beef is brown, transfer meat to pot with beans and tomatoes. Reserve a small amount of grease in the skillet.
- Return skillet to medium-high heat and add chopped onions to skillet and sauté until translucent, approximately 5-7 min.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet with the onions, stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer onions and garlic to pot and stir to combine.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered on low for 1 hour. Stir occasionally.
- After an hour, taste chili and add salt to taste for your preference (up to 1 tsp).
- Garnish with sour cream, green onions, cheddar cheese, or whatever else you like.
